Absolutely delicious food! The small plates were incredible, and the cocktails were delightful.

This was my third time visiting Rebellion but my first time getting food! First of all, the cocktails are some of the best I've ever had! Different and delicious! This time we ate dinner from their updated winter menu and it did not disappoint! We had the autumn tings and black cherry manhattan drinks.. so good! For food we split the burger (and made it a double which was huge and amazing haha) and then did the meatballs, calamari and Brussels. Everything was fantastic and so flavorful. We will be back soon!

My boyfriend and I came here on a whim because we were in the area, we were not disappointed! We sat at the bar and made conversation with 4 others who were seated next to us. We started with cocktails (they were great but I forgot what we ordered) but quickly moved on to the sangria at the recommendation of our bar mates. That was the winner! We shared the patatas brava (lovely), olive tapenade crostini (this was my boyfriend's fave), and the king trumpet with the farro (my fave, so tasty!). We will have to come back again to try the other offerings. The bartender was friendly and helpful and made great drinks. It was a beautiful space with leather, wood, and dark walls. My only complaint is that the bar chairs feel too short, I felt like I needed a booster seat (the other girls at the bar were complaining about this too), but this didn't take away from the experience, overall.

This place was a pleasant surprise, even though its location--between a gas station and a liquor store on a side road--was a bit odd. But don't let that fool you; the interior is very nice and modern. The night I visited, they had live music, which I usually don't enjoy, but it wasn't distracting. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced at $13. We didn't try much of the food, but the fried calamari was exceptional. I'd definitely return for happy hour. One interesting thing to note is that the bar seats are quite low, which can be a bit uncomfortable. So, keep that in mind if you're planning to sit there for a while.

We came by for a Sunday brunch. And while we were the only ones there, it felt like our little secret. They have a small but very potent brunch menu. Sure, they have pancakes -- delish. But they also mix things up. I got the short rib with potatoes and an egg over medium. It was that right mix of everything that a brunch should have -- salt, a little fat, sweet, great meat, etc. The duck confit with egg was similarly flavorful with a bit of duck gravy to boot. Service (Mia) was very friendly and helpful. Good drinks too and cool vibes inside. We look forward to coming back for a dinner; the kitchen seems to know what it's doing so this is well worth the drive off the highway.

This place is really trendy and delivers in great food and drinks with a modern Italian theme. We were greeted pleasantly right away when we arrived. Our waitress was very attentive. Everything was clean and refreshing; and they had Bourdain playing on the tv at the bar The cocktails were delicious; as was the food. Seems that the menu will change seasonally. I had one friend that (doesn't use SM); and couldn't find a menu online; but the restaurant itself is very active on other sm sites. It wasn't particularly packed when we were there; so hoping to get the word out. It's nicely placed on Padanaram rd (right off 39, so easily accessible to NY and CT peeps). Definitely check this place out!!

Finally! We are so excited to try this swanky new restaurant down the road from us. The interesting outside decor caught my eye as we drove past it one day. The inside is even more beautiful. Cognac leather seats, edison style bulbs providing golden lighting... it's gorgeous. Everything we ordered was delicious. The Bronzino was crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The short ribs were full of flavor and trying the polenta might be the first time I've thought it actually tasted good at a restaurant. Often I find them to be gritty and cold. But here they were rich, warm, and creamy. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They seem like kind and genuine people, just cooking good food for People.

Rebellion Kitchen opened in February and is putting out creative cocktails and elevated Italian food. They even have live music on Friday nights! What we ordered: -apassionata cocktail -ciao bella cocktail -elderflower liquor, tequila, lime, coconut cream drink special -cacio e pepe Caesar salad -king trumpet appetizer -tagliere misto -wood fire short rib -mar nero -espresso martini -negroni Make sure to get the king trumpet mushroom, they're grilled to perfection and are served with a spicy chili butter. Other standouts were the squid ink pasta and short rib with polenta. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the short rib extremely tender. And end the night with an espresso martini, co-owner Tim makes the best ones! Follow me for more on IG @angies_foodie_adventures

Service and ambiance: 5/5! We really loved the space and everyone was very friendly. People checked in on us regularly. Live music is a nice touch. The table was clean and comfortable. The bar also looks nice. Food: 3/5. the squid ink pasta was ok, didn't love the sauce and the pasta was a little undercooked. The duck was decent but came with the tiniest splatter of polenta which didn't taste great. For the prices the portion sizes and flavors didn't fully add up for us. A good happy hour spot and a cute space

Pretty restaurant with a large central bar. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday around 6. Cocktail menu had lots of options and was creative. Food menu was smaller, but had curated options. Loved the bucatini in a delicious spicy sauce. I'm not a fish fan, but I tasted my husband's bronzino and it was rather tasty! Service was pretty quick and we met one of the owners who was friendly. Prices were a bit high, but I would say they matched the value for the food. Loved the Ferrero rocher when getting our bill. Would come back!
